Confidence

I'm never scared to try anything new. But generally the only things I don't tackle are the things I don't got the tools for. If I have to buy $500 worth of tools to do a $100 dollar job. I probably won't, especially if it's a job I know I won't do again for a few years. I may want or use those tools in the future. But I'll buy them when I get there. Same with shop space. Unfortunately I don't have permanent access to a garage. I'm the definition of a shady tree mechanic. I do all my work generally wherever I can find that's best. And sometimes that mean's there are jobs I can't do because I don't have access to a lift or garage or etc.

Prime example was my headers. Borrowed buddies garage. Borrowed buddy. Go them hanging. Then he snapped an exhaust stud. Then he snapped an extractor in the snapped stud. Unfortunately it had to be fixed with fire. Fire I didn't have. So it ended up having to go to the shop. I didn't want it that way. But eh, life doesn't go the way you want sometimes.
